To interface the document with the wiki utilize the AguaClaraClean macro and save the re-formatted document with an appropriate name and ensure that it is MicroSoft Word 97-03 version (.doc) and not the newest 2007 version (.docx). Navigate to the wiki page where you would like to add the document as a child page. On the drop-down menu "Edit" click "Attachments." Save your file to a secure location and then "Browse" for your file. After you have located your file, click "Attach file." Next, edit your child page and type in the code that will ensure that the file will be viewed. The code may be copied in Wiki Markup mode from this page.
